Help me run an experiment with Pandora.com

Oct 23, 2007 10:31

One of the things that amuses me about Pandora is how, eventually, any station that I create starts playing a lot of music by The Who. It seems as if this happens no matter what sort of music I use to start the station. I decided today that I'd like to test that theory and see if it's really happening.

What I'd like you folks to do is give me names of bands that in your opinion are as unlike The Who as possible. I'll use some of them to create a separate Pandora station, and then just listen to it the same way I do any other station, giving songs thumbs up and down as I hear them.

I'd also love it if somebody else out there would create a station of their own using the same starting bands. That would test if the trend toward The Who is a quirk of my taste or a quirk of the formula Pandora uses to find similar songs.

Thanks for your help!

Edit, 10:15 PM I'm up to nine bands, which seems like a good number to work with. No more suggestions please.
